De-saturation issue
Hello XDCAM HD Users,
I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with major de-saturation when shooting HD HQ and then loading via a deck in SD (into an Avid)? It comes out very, very de-saturated (not a little, but a lot) even when it was shot in Hi-Sat mode and looked quite saturated in the camera and on a field monitor (properly set). This isn't from only one camera only, either, but several cameras with various settings. Now, I don't have the deck here with me, as I'm out shooting far away, but I was wondering if anybody has had any similar problem and thus has some information that might help improve this? Thanks!

Since we don't know how you're going from deck/SD downconversion to Avid, it's hard to even list anything to check, but I'd look for an issue between deck and Avid.
I've ever seen anything like that in my work. |
Yes, how are you getting from the deck into the avid? thru a mojo? we need to know in order to help you.
I would think that its a faulty component cable, or maybe your input settings in the avid? Maybe its a setting in the deck? Does the picture look right on the screen on the deck? Look for the obvious easy answer first. I have never had a problem like this. |

Thanks for the input. I'm not there, I'm quite far away, so I don't know exactly what's happening. It is into an Adrenalin and not through a mojo. I was more wondering if anyone else has experienced something like that with a downconvert from a deck, to know if this is a common issue or some issue with the set-up.

we're not seeing any significant de-saturation issues on downconverted footage ... you may want to have your deck checked out as it could be a hardware issue.

Dear Andy,
Thanks for the suggestion. That is a very good point. I'm glad to know nobody else is seeing this issue. Best, R |
